Old State House
-
Built in 1713 as the seat of colonial government, the Old State House was designed to look down State Street to the shipping hub of Long Wharf. In 1770, the Boston Massacre (see Boston Massacre (1770)) occurred just outside its doors. And on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was first read to Bostonians from its balcony (see The Freedom Trail). Today, it’s home to the Bostonian Society & Old State House Museum.
